I thought I would get the senior citizens of my herd out today

That is awesome slammer!! Those are some gorgeous round hoods!! My poor old senior citizen keeps asking me when she can retire! I keep telling her...someday sweety, someday! Lol! She and I just finished mowing an acre and a half. Gotta love that round hood style! ;-)

oh yeah, it's my "this is a hell of a lot easier on my old back tool". feel free to copy .

Check 'em out! Whelen TIR3s in red, and 1 Whelen LIN3 in amber. Here is the new youtube vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa9ZSUqn8Qg&list=UUERiXFPymQ8udA7l1_MRVIw wheel horse leds.mov

I hesitated to start this thread but now I am glad I did. It looks like I was not the only dummy up here. If it saves one person from getting a punctured eye it served its purpose.

Glad to see your "blower" is RED, Wayne.

this is all i should need in the Arizona desert . sorry, just could not help myself.

Hi all as most of you may know I'm a bit of a wheelhorse Nut , and we all like to make and design our own attachment and adapt our machines to be as versatile as possible I've seen some original wheel horse generators on the net but they are very rare so I've decided to build one . I first started by sourcing a 240v Generator off that site . Then I've now been designing my own quick release cradle for it to sit in . Attached Thumbnails

It wasn't me, I was way over in SE Ohio. No really I was. I went to WV then turned left and went several more hours, above Athens OH. Plus I have 16 already, I have enough plows to sell this winter, just have to get them all sandblasted, painted and decaled up. The 3 I have on CL are 3 of 5 I bought. I had to buy 5 to get the 2 48" plows I wanted. The white one on CL I was told is a Bolens from a guy who wants it.

After reading this...I've just ordered my full face grinding shield guys... should have had one all along, thanks for the tip.

Was going to do an around the neighbor hood video but it's over 100 on the Tarmac! Had to settle for a few poses.

Wayne you are one sick puppy!!! +1

Slammer, great post of the senior citizens. Comment made by a senior citizen. GLENN

Wow... I think even those are a little crazy priced! It never even dawned on me that there would be someone reproducing batteries in the original style cases. I suppose though... both of you (Craig and Martin) being car enthusiasts, you've probably known about this for a while. Pretty cool little detail part if you are after the truest representation of originality. I agree though, that for the majority of us Wheel Horse guys, at that kind of price, it's absolutely ridiculous. However.... if someone only had one tractor and no room for another or something, I could totally see spending more money on making a "perfect" restoration. People do it all the time in other hobbies.

GADZOOKS!!! Bet that was a surprise! I had something like that happen about an hour ago. Went to get my homemade front weight for the 701, that I had stored by the well house this summer, to give it a fresh coat of paint...and to my surprise!!!!....There's a spider the size of, what appeared to me, a tennis ball staring out of that web hole! So I decided to wait til I get some bug spray to paint it...then I happened to look up...and said forget it! Lol!

So you havent been doing your homework for the first 2 weeks Mr Saurus? Youre doing pretty good for a hack! I would suggest you and all the others on here start putting a little time and effort into this or I'll be the man to beat all season...Remember second place is just the first L-O-S-E-R!

Although it is a fact for me, I have a great sense of humor, and am always making eye/one-eye jokes and jokes about myself...Often I say "It's all fun & games until somebody loses an eye.. because then I have to find it, etc..." And "There is no "I" in team, but there IS one "eye" in me!" Gotta laugh at what comes our way..... As Jimmy Buffett said "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane" But seriously guys... take care of 'em..... prosthetics are expensive!

Glenn, who's that I see there wearing the steel toed sandals?

For sale: Ouija Board

STOP IT... he killed that one years ago.

Trimming off excess thread. Finished door on right. Original on left.

We hit a grand slam with the W.H. displays at the Mansfield show this weekend,awesome show,great time with fellow collectors...

Putzed around the house mounting up the RJ plow and tombstone today.

On Saturday the little Electro went to Cajun Model Fest here in Baton Rouge and did alright. After winning in its class it took "Best Auto" which is one of the top level prizes. It might be a bit of a stretch to call it an auto but I was able to enter it as an off-road vehicle which made it eligible in the Automotive category. Thanks to all the Red Square members for the enthusiastic support. It wouldn't have been such a success without you!

Mentone Indiana garden tractor show and swap meet. Starting this year we will be charging everyone selling parts a $5 selling fee. The reason for this fee is because the park is $50 a day and two day insurance is $200. We only made $86 in donations at the spring swap meet and that does not even cover the postage for me to mail flyers out. As I see it $5 isn't much and shouldn't scare any sellers off and wont cover all the cost but sure will help Richard and I out covering the rest. If any one has any questions please feel free to contact Richard or me. Thanks.

There's gotta be something I can take for this, a presciption or something. My Little Phille says she has a cure guaranteed to work but it involves a 2X4.

Yeah...that's John looking like a mechanic working there.

Today was the annual fall Rotary Club Fly in Breakfast at the Seneca Falls Regional Airport. It was a beautiful day. Turned out perfect. Awesome weather, Dino's birthday, lots of planes and of course DA BEARS LOST!! Here are a few videos of the planes coming in and going out! If I had the cash I'd take flying lessons and if I was rich I'd already have my license and have a plane. I would hit all those great tractor shows you guys have in the Midwest!

The Vegas odds are my favorite place to look for help picking. I only picked the 'underdog' once this week. Gut feeling on the Mountaineers. Indiana, Ohio St, West Virginia, Iowa, Michigan, Washington, TCU, NOTRE DAME , Penn St, Nebraska

and . I know you're new to the forum but if you can post a few pictures for us old pharts.

I've looked in the past at many battery restoration sites and the biggest hurdle for me was to get over the $ amount for these batteries. For me I would rather buy something say from napa in the size i need, rip all the decals of it and get Terry to make something "period correct"....... It won't have the red caps or proper case, but I saved a bunch of money to be able to buy other red stuff..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Certain models did not use a solenoid but ran the starter circuit through the ignition switch. Disconnect the 3 prong connector from the rectifier. That isolates the ignition switch and charging system from the engine. Now try starting the engine by running a jumper cable from positive side of battery to post on the starter. Negative post on battery should be wired to a grounding point on the frame or engine. Tractor should have spark at this point. Let us know what you get.

Hodge, I did my homework...I don't like the results (just not comfortable with about 8 of my picks), but here they are. BOWLING GREEN, OHIO ST., MARYLAND, IOWA ST., MICHIGAN, ILLINOIS, TCU, NOTRE DAME, RUTGERS, NEBRASKA

Here is the link Steve meant to add.. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=College+football+rankings+2014 Not sure what it is but Im in for sure!!

AJ...you guys gotta do some of the leg work. I think, this year, they are waiting to do the real rankings until the end of September...right now, they do not mean too much. Google "college football" or "Big Ten college football" and all the information, rankings, predictions and stories are there.

not sure what fenders im going to use.

Hey now!

Good show Mrs rancher and I were there on Friday

I'd want to give all you guys a "like", but you only get 10 in 24 hours...it would take me 3 days.

Check out this site. Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, etc. They've got what are supposed to be the hottest peppers in the world. I broke out in a sweat just reading about them. http://www.organicseedsdirect.com

I had an appointment with the eye doctor today. She looked my eyes over for some time and pronounced me stupid, but lucky. I promised her I would never do that again and I won't. I relize how very lucky I was and how much it hurt before it was removed. No More.......

Karl I am 100% in agreement. After prior Comments made earlier today MJ was wanting to quit the forum and the whole ball of whacks. I at that point wasn't going to post this Graphic that I created 3 days ago but now that things have straightened out I will post it. This is how I truly feel about our hobby and who it has touched in our world from sea to shining sea. This will be available in a T shirt and also in a Multi Color LED back lighted display that will have a remote control. This is the best I can do on Short notice but you prolly can get the direction I am heading with This. Thanks Duke & MJ

Ok Here is another Thanks Duke

This may be of some further help to you.

I completely agree Chuck! I know first hand how much it takes to put on an event. There are many hidden costs to make the day a success. I am going to have to put out a donation jar at my show again this year to help cover insurance, disposables, port a potty, etc... I appreciate all of the time they put in to make Mentone a great event!

I'm bringing my 73 12 "Ezra" I got some gear drive deck parts to sell along with some Eaton 1100 parts. Plus a shop binder with some manuals and bulletins,some rear axle brackets and a homemade generator frame. A Brinly plow to slot hitch adapter and a few left over calendars as well. Picking up a cultivator set from Chasm, and plow from dclarke (Thanks Steve). Hope to pick up a nice RJ or suburban and a non-shaker 14 or 16 HP engine. Also bringing a tiller which is sold, a back rest for AMC and Vinylguy's flake flinger!

There's much to report on the little Electro! The progress has been slow but steady as I had some time. Here it is in the "service bay" getting ready to have the lift valve installed and plumbed. At that point it was almost complete. The hood had been prepped already complete with a decal for the headlights. The headlights that came in the kit were never going to look right so I tried this and it looks pleasing to me! Steering wheel ready to go. After adding the levers and neutral pedal she was done! Of course, it had to have a Harrison Elementary Garden Tractor Club logo on the rear fender. Go Huskies! I brought it to the Baton Rouge Scale Modelers meeting last night and the guys were floored! Nobody had ever seen anything like this built before. They enjoyed the stories about interacting with the people on Red Square, too. It's a world they didn't know about. So this has been an adventure that I wouldn't mind repeating. There are already plans in the works for another possible Wheel Horse project and I can't thank all the forum members enough. This couldn't have come out like it did without all the help and support. I will definitely keep checking back in to this really cool forum! See you soon!
